This balance determines the glacier's mass and whether its ice advances or retreats. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) manages a comprehensive archive of scientific data on snow ...

A University of Bristol study found that 91% of Svalbard’s glaciers have significantly shrunk since 1985, losing over 800 km² ...

"With the increasing frequency of atmospheric blocking and ongoing regional warming, future retreats of glaciers are expected to accelerate, resulting in greater glacier mass loss. This would ...

Research Interests: Thwaites Glacier, surface mass balance, extreme snowfall events, Antarctic atmospheric rivers I research the impacts of snowfall and extreme precipitation events on the surface ...

The data with NCHM shows that in between 2016 and 2020, approximately 17 Gigatonnes of glacial ice is lost. The glacier mass balance of Shodug glacier, the headwater of Thimchhu with thickness of ...

The data shows almost all glacier regions globally are receding. Mapping trends between 1976 and 2023 reveals a shift from no mass balance change to high negative mass balance or large-scale ...
